Household Recycling Petition for free access - Shaftesbury Centre

Dorset Council has introduced a new charge for Wiltshire residents to use the HRC facilities in Shaftesbury and other sites across the County. This will greatly inconvenience residents in many of our villages, as well as those in neighbouring Mere, Nadder Valley and Tisbury.

We have put together a cross-Party petition, signed by me, Cllr Wayman (Con), Cllr Murray (Lib Dem) and Cllr Jeans (Ind), which is gathering momentum.

Whilst I know this is more relevant to some parishes than others, I wanted to ask if you would kindly circulate, to help us make clear to Wiltshire Council's administration that something needs to be done.

With thanks in advance for your support.

Councillor for Fovant and Chalke Valley
